AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
NOTE:Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shift- ing. The selector lever can be shifted freely.
For optimum fuel economy, acceler-ate gradually. The transaxle will auto- matically shift to the second, third andoverdrive gears.
C090A02A-GAT
The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four forward speeds and one reverse speed. It has a conven-tional shift pattern as shown in the illustration. CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position while the vehicle is moving.
accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt change invehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a collision crash, an unbeltedperson is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

C090N06A-DAT Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with the accelerator pedal de- pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into "R" or"D".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and mal-function. Instead, when you are driv-ing down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slowthe car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear maynot be engaged.
o Always use the hand brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in"P" to keep the car from moving. o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler- ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in ve-hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve- hicle to go out of control.
o Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the accel-erator pedal.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for good
fuel economy and smooth driving. Ifengine braking is needed in the "D" range or if repeated upshifting and downshifting between the 3rd and4th gear is needed when climbing a gentle slope, it is recommended that the overdrive switch be turned off.Turn the overdrive switch back on immediately afterward.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pull- ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and back- ward. Do not attempt this proce-dure if people or objects are any- where near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle maysuddenly move forward of back- ward as it becomes unstuck, caus- ing injury or damage to nearbypeople or objects.

C140A01A-DAT You can save fuel and get more kilo- meters from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "kanga- roo" starts or full-throttle shifts.Maintain a steady cruising speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to adjust your speed to that of theother traffic so you don't have to change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. Thisalso reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The
faster you drive, the more fuel yourcar uses. Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake. This can in-
crease fuel consumption and alsoincrease wear on these components.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the hand brake and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your hand brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the hand brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or re- verse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the hand brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause the transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or hand brake. o In addition, driving with your foot
resting on the brake pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, which re- duces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either toomuch or too little, results in unneces- sary tyre wear. Check the tyre pres- sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving toofast over irregular surfaces Poor align- ment causes faster tyre wear and may also result in other problems aswell as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).

8. When parking your car and trailer,especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the hand brake firmly, and put thetransaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of thetrailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
drive your vehicle with the trailerattached, and then apply the trailer brakes by hand. This test confirms the operation of the trailer brakesand also checks your electrical con- nection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
!WARNING:
Improperly loading your car and trailer can serious affect its steeringand braking performance causing a crash in which you may be seriously injured or killed. kg.

1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 100 km/h).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive (au- tomatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres- sure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind andbuffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there istoo much wind buffeting, slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.

I090A003MC-DAT WHEN TO REPLACE TYRES
The original tyres on your car have tread wear indicators. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the"TWI" or "
" marks, etc., The tread
wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in). The tyreshould be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replaceyour tyres with those of the recom- mended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset mustbe those specified by Hyundai. WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tyres is dan- gerous! Worn-out tyres can causeloss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tyres, never mix radialand bias-ply tyres on the same car. If you replace radial tyres with bias-ply tyres, they must be in-stalled in sets of four.
o Using tyres and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
o Tyres degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six (6) years ofnormal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the ag-ing process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, which could lead to a lossof control and an accident involv- ing serious injury or death.

I070A01A-DAT TYRE BALANCING A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling and tyre wear. The tyres onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-DAT TYRE TRACTION Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly inflated or on slippery roadsurfaces. Tyres should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control,slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
